Fratelli Revello

Immediately after the Second World War, the Revello family, made up of Giovanni Revello, Caterina Tezzo and their children Ercole, Maria and Giacomo, moved from Cherasco to L'Annunziata, a hamlet of La Morra. In 1954 the family rented a farmhouse owned by the Parish of S. Martino in La Morra, and the following year Giovanni, helped by Ercole and Giacomo, began replanting some of the vineyards; all the grapes harvested were sold. 1967 was an exceptional vintage, and for the first time the family vinified part of the harvest, creating the very first bottle of 'Giovanni Revello & Figli' Barolo. In 1971 the family bought land in the Gattera cru and used part of it to build the farmhouse to which the whole family moved. In 1984 Giacomo and Ercole rented land in the Conca cru, which Giacomo's sons Lorenzo and Carlo later purchased. In 1990, after gaining work experience elsewhere, Lorenzo and Carlo took over the family estate, alongside a family-run restaurant. In 1992 family friend Elio Altare offered his support, and the brothers followed his teachings. The restaurant closed in 2001 and was replaced with Bed & Breakfast rooms, and in 2003 the winery was expanded and a new panoramic tasting room was built. In 2016 Lorenzo and Carlo decided to divide the estate to facilitate the introduction of their respective children.

Lorenzo and Carlo Revello are the sons of Giacomo Revello and Mariarosa Ferrero. When the brothers took over in 1990, Mariarosa and Carlo worked in the kitchen of the family restaurant and Lorenzo and his future wife Luciana in the dining room; Lorenzo married Luciana Veglio in 1991. Their daughter Elena began working on the estate in 2015, and their second child, Simone, began working on the family estate in 2016, the year of the division. Family friend Elio Altare offered the brothers his support in 1992.

Fratelli Revello's Nebbiolo vineyards lie among the old Giachini and Rocche dell'Annunziata church properties and in the Conca, Gattera and Gorette vineyards. The Annunziata parcels have calcareous-clay soils. The Barolo comes from 2.3 hectares of Nebbiolo in Annunziata planted between 1960 and 2000, facing southeast at 250 metres and southwest at 260 metres. Barolo Giachini comes from 0.5 hectare planted in 1995, facing southeast at 270 metres; Barolo Conca from 0.7 hectare in Conca dell'Annunziata planted in 1954, facing south at 250 metres; and Barolo Gattera from 1 hectare planted between 1960 and 1995, facing southeast at 250 metres and southwest at 240 metres. The Cerretta vineyard in Serralunga, owned by Luciana's father, was rented in 2012; its 0.5 hectare of Nebbiolo was planted between 2000 and 2010 on clay marl-calcareous soil facing south. Barbera d'Alba Ciabot du Re comes from 0.7 hectare of Barbera planted in 1975, Langhe Nebbiolo from 0.9 hectare planted in 1996, and Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba from 0.7 hectare of Dolcetto planted in 1980.

Fratelli Revello's production philosophy starts from the assumption that 'a great wine is made in the vineyard.' The estate has practised sustainable viticulture for years, carrying out a few targeted treatments, mainly with sulphur and copper-based products, and has abandoned pesticides and herbicides. Two separate green harvests in summer leave about 50 to 60% of the bunches on the vine. The family calls its approach to vinification 'modern': the grapes macerate in temperature-controlled horizontal roto-fermenters at about 28 to 30°C with native yeasts only, and alcoholic fermentation is completed in stainless steel tanks after the skins and seeds are removed. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques for Barolo Giachini, Conca and Cerretta and in steel for the Barolo and Barolo Gattera. The wines age mainly in French oak barriques, with a share of new wood gradually reduced over the years, and are neither fined nor filtered. The family's stated aim is Barolo suited to long bottle-ageing that can also be appreciated when young.
